Translation

Vinde a nós, ó Maruts, com os vossos auxílios — seja com os mais antigos, os de amplo fulgor no grande céu, hábeis em boa arte. Pois quando as suas mais altas energias, já jungidas, triunfam até na margem longínqua do oceano, então o seu poder se comprova: que ele chegue aqui para a nossa jornada.
